Heaven-Opening Mark, Primordial Violet Qi!

It wasn't surprising that Cao Yusheng was so astonished. Although he had severed his own memories, he still possessed knowledge.

Ying Hao sat cross-legged in Tanggu Valley, emanating profound Daoist rhymes. For a Great Emperor, this was quite normal.

Even if the Daoist rhymes swept across the entire Ziwei Star Domain, allowing countless people to gain insights, he wouldn't find it particularly strange.

Great Emperors! They possessed peerless abilities, were invincible in the world, and spread the Dao to all beings. It could only be considered normal operation!

But could someone tell him what that astonishing aura emanating from Ying Hao was all about?

Those outside Tanggu Valley couldn't feel it, but he was very close to Ying Hao and felt it exceptionally clearly and intensely.

At this moment, Ying Hao appeared sacred and extraordinary, his presence magnificent, giving the feeling that he could ascend at any moment.

He always felt as if he had experienced a similar aura before, a vague figure that seemed extremely important to him.

Although it was somewhat difficult to comprehend, it was certain that Ying Hao's recent excursion had yielded immense gains.

He couldn't help but feel curious about where Ying Hao had gone to achieve such astonishing progress.

After all, Ying Hao was already a Great Emperor, and even the slightest progress was an incredibly remarkable feat.

He suddenly had an astonishing thought: could Ying Hao truly surpass Emperor Zun and achieve immortality in the mortal world?

Meanwhile, Ying Hao had already become deeply immersed in a profound state, all thanks to the Heaven-Opening Mark.

In a hazy dream, he found himself in boundless chaos, before heaven and earth had been formed, before chaos had been separated.

Suddenly, a figure that reached the heavens appeared, wielding a colossal axe and cleaving into the vast chaos.

In an instant, primordial energies shattered, chaos parted, pure energy rose, and turbid energy sank, marking the beginning of heaven and earth.

One axe strike after another, from one came two, from two came three, and from three came all things!

A magnificent world slowly took shape, and endless creation appeared before his eyes – the ultimate principles of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Unknowingly, Ying Hao became entranced, the process of the world's creation constantly replaying in his mind.

He felt as if he had understood many things, but upon closer reflection, it seemed he understood nothing at all.

It was profoundly deep and obscure, the mystery of the creation of heaven and earth, containing the ultimate principles of all things in the world.

After an unknown period, Ying Hao slowly emerged from his profound state, the mystical Daoist rhymes dissipating with him.

Seeing Ying Hao awaken, Cao Yusheng eagerly rushed to his side, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"What exactly have you experienced during this time?" Cao Yusheng couldn't help but ask.

Ying Hao seemed unchanged, yet he also gave off a feeling of returning to simplicity.

He couldn't understand! He truly couldn't understand!

But precisely because of this, his heart felt like it was being scratched by cats. He had a strong feeling that Ying Hao was now completely different from before.

"Just an unexpected gain!"

Ying Hao hid nothing, explaining that he had found the star domain formed by Lingbao Heavenly Venerate and sharing some of his speculations.

Cao Yusheng had gone through cycles of reincarnation in the mortal world for an immeasurable time, and perhaps he had some past connections with Lingbao Heavenly Venerate.

"Lingbao Heavenly Venerate? He still has remnants of life? Could it be?"

Cao Yusheng was dumbfounded, clearly shocked by the news.

Then, as if recalling something, his expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"It seems you know quite a bit!"

Ying Hao's heart stirred. He knew that as an ancient being who had lived for a very long time, Cao Yusheng must know many things.

"I've only heard about it by chance. You can listen, but it might not be true. It's said that a Wounded Immortal descended into the world..."

According to Cao Yusheng, he had accidentally learned that during the era when Lingbao Heavenly Venerate reigned supreme, a terrifying event had occurred.

A Wounded Immortal appeared in the world, using all living beings as nourishment, likely intending to recover from its injuries.

In a short period, numerous Ancient Life Stars fell silent, and the number of beings who perished was immeasurable.

At the critical moment, Lingbao Heavenly Venerate ascended to the heavens and retaliated against the immortal. It was a world-shattering battle.

After that earth-shattering battle, the Wounded Immortal disappeared, leaving only Lingbao Heavenly Venerate supreme in the world.

He had accidentally learned a shocking piece of information: after slaying the Wounded Immortal, Lingbao Heavenly Venerate actually wanted to replace it.

Upon careful consideration, it wasn't surprising. Even with his incredible combat power, Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's peak lifespan in one era was only a little over ten thousand years.

But immortals were different. Even a Wounded Immortal could achieve eternal life and exist forever.

With an Immortal Corpse in hand, such a golden opportunity was hard for anyone to resist!

Now it seemed Lingbao Heavenly Venerate had indeed taken action, using the Immortal Corpse as a foundation to undergo an incredible transformation.

"So that's how it is!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.

The slaughtering immortal phenomenon on the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and Lingbao Heavenly Venerate transforming into a star domain all corroborated Cao Yusheng's account.

It appeared that Lingbao Heavenly Venerate had indeed slain an immortal and, in doing so, saw hope for achieving immortality.

No wonder Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's transformation encountered problems. Replacing an immortal, was it truly that easy?

As expected! To achieve immortality in the mortal world, everyone has their own path!

Lingbao Heavenly Venerate had his own path, and he also had his own path. He couldn't help but recall his insights from this period.

The Heaven-Opening Mark was a recreation of Great God Pangu's act of splitting heaven and earth, containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the true essence of the Great Dao.

In the Great Desolation world, its value was immeasurable; even a Saint would fight to obtain it.

Even in the Veil of Heaven world, it was unimaginable. The Dao ultimately led to the same destination, and many things could be learned from each other.

However, for him now, it seemed a bit too advanced!

There was no other way! He couldn't comprehend it!

It was like a primary school student suddenly receiving university textbooks; forget understanding, they couldn't even read them!

But this didn't mean the Heaven-Opening Mark was useless to him. Even if he couldn't comprehend it, he could still be exposed to it.

Through continuous contemplation, any bit he could understand was a gain, enough to benefit him greatly.

This was destined to be a long process; even if he became an Immortal Emperor, it might still be helpful to him.

After communicating with Cao Yusheng for a while, Ying Hao eagerly began to enter closed-door cultivation again.

Besides the Heaven-Opening Mark, he still had another system reward that he hadn't claimed.

"This is the Primordial Violet Qi?"

Looking at the wisp of purple energy swirling around his fingertip, Ying Hao's face was filled with helplessness.

According to the system's description, the Primordial Violet Qi was formed from the origin of the Heavenly Dao. In the Great Desolation world, it was indeed the foundation of the Great Dao.

Possessing the Primordial Violet Qi was equivalent to mastering the authority of the Heavenly Dao. As long as his own level was sufficient, he had a great chance of proving his Dao and becoming a Saint.

But this was the Veil of Heaven world, not the Great Desolation world!

Formed from the origin of the Heavenly Dao in the Great Desolation world, what use could it possibly have in the Veil of Heaven world?

Could the sword of a previous dynasty slay an official of the current one?

The Primordial Violet Qi was so precious, yet it was useless to him. It was truly exasperating.

No! A thought suddenly struck him, and he thought of a possibility!

"It's time for me to forge my Ultimate Emperor Weapon!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.
